I skipped updated a few days but I continued with the walls I was working on.

Let’s back track a bit here. I have primed the walls with coats of primer since the original walls were a medium blue color.

Then I did 1 coat of basecoat in “swiss coffee” in Behr Satin Finish. Swiss Coffee looks like cream with a splash of coffee but essentially, it looks off white

I then began my 2 tone wash on one wall. What was interesting is that I set out to do a subtle wash, here’s the sample board I worked on the night prior:

But what ended up happening was a bit more dramatic…in a good way! I just let my creativity go since the homeowner gave me a lot of freedom to do what I feel is the best thing. Here’s the wall I finished:

As you can see, it is not as subtle as my sample board however, it has a lot more detail and looks nice! It was commented by someone who is a pro in the faux finish world that what I did has a marble feel, looks like unpolished stone! All I know is that I was being creative and this was what came out of me. I love art!
